To get back on topic, my favorite I think is 564, where Dora kisses Marten on the rooftop.

That did combine plot advancement with "Yes!".

I just came up with those five as examples of what makes a favorite strip. I'm sure you could probably come up with a few more criteria to make it more balanced, so it's Not All About Teh Funny.

What makes a favorite strip is a strip that is your favorite. People have different reasons for a strip being their favorite, so you can't really use one specific criteria for everyone (otherwise, like Carl-E said, it wouldn't be their favorite, just their favorite strip that also meets those requirements (excluding when it's a person whose favorite strip actually does fall within the criteria, of course)).

I understand completely. The five things I listed are reasons I would give for why a particular strip is my fave.
In fact, I'll even give a fuller list:
* Teh Funny. (A strip that always makes you laugh when you see it.)
* Memorable Moment. (The Roomba flying out the window.)
* Great drawing. (Admit it - the background imaging during the Faye's Dad flashbacks were awesome.)
* Plot advancement. (Dora kisses the boy, Steve hooks up with Cosette, etc.)
* Jeph likes it, too. (If the artist likes it, that's always a plus.)
* Introduction of a notable character (i.e., Hannelore, Momo, Marigold)
* Major character development/reveal (Strip 504. Enough said.)
* Memorable quotation (i.e., "Baking is Science for Hungry People!")
